Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for scanning, in particular documents, and a mobile phone according to the preamble of claim 2.
- the use of a camera with, for example, low resolution for scanning documents is known.
- the camera or mobile phone is moved over the document from a short distance.
- a result image is generated from the images or partial images recorded in the process.
- the images are recorded, for example, with a high sampling frequency of typically 15 or 30 Hertz. For this reason, neighboring images have a very high image overlap.
- a high-resolution result image can be continuously built up by lining up narrow image strips from the respective image center and taking into account the camera shift.
- the invention has for its object in a method for scanning and to facilitate the scanning of documents in a mobile phone.
- the method or mobile phone according to the invention enables the relative position of the camera sensor to the document to be determined quickly and robustly.
- a reference pattern is faded into the field of view of the camera.
- the evaluation of the geometry of the pattern in the images enables the differences in imaging in the images to be compensated for.
- a small reference pattern is permanently projected to the same position within the camera field of view and evaluated in the recorded image by an image processing algorithm.
- the position of the sensor relative to the document is clearly determined in three-dimensional space from the geometric information of the reference pattern projected onto the document surface and imaged in the sensor.
- a suitable reference pattern is, for example, a small crosshair that is permanently projected onto the same position within the camera field of view. From the information of the crosshair size (distance) and the relative lengths of the Crosshair axes (tilt in x and y direction) the position of the sensor relative to the document is clearly determined in three-dimensional space.
- the method for determining the position of a camera K relative to a document is implemented, for example, on a cell phone or mobile radio device which has the following features:
- Camera K for example on the back of the mobile phone MT, for recording images from the surroundings
- the mobile phone MT is moved a short distance above the document.
- the characteristic features of the projection of a reference pattern F for determining the relative sensor position are roughly sketched using a constructed example:
- Case a) compared to case b)
- the camera is parallel to the document surface.
- the distance from the camera to the document is greater in case a) than in case b).
- the projected cross hair F in the camera image is smaller in case b) than in case a).
- the crosshair size is directly related to the sensor distance and can be calculated from the individual camera image.
- the camera K or the camera sensor is tilted relative to the document template.
- the position of the sensor in 3-dimensional space relative to the document can be clearly determined from the absolute size of the crosshair in connection with the information about the relative lengths of the crosshair axes.
